German court throws out Qualcomm's latest patent lawsuit filed against Apple
FirstpostThis was in a reversal for Qualcomm after it won a recent court ban on the sale of some Apple iPhones. A patent lawsuit filed by Qualcomm Inc against Apple Inc was thrown out by a German court on 15 December, in a reversal for the US chipmaker after it won a recent court ban on the sale of some iPhones in the country. “We regret Qualcomm’s use of the court to divert attention from their illegal behavior that is the subject of multiple lawsuits and proceedings around the world.” Qualcomm, waging a worldwide patent battle with Apple, said it would appeal after winning a separate case before a court in Munich in December that enabled it to enforce a ban on the sale of older iPhones in Germany. “While we disagree with the Mannheim court’s decision and will appeal, we will continue to enforce our rights against Apple worldwide.” Apple declined to comment on the Mannheim decision.
